Tip #7 is one that I've been working hard on. Over the years I've cut out fats to save calories, but this is a BIG mistake. Low fat diets can help you lose weight, but may be harmful to your health.
To add healthy fats back into my diet I've been taking lots of fish oil (see Tip #3) and eating more salmon, raw nuts (walnuts, almonds & natural peanut butter), avocado, olive oil, ground flax seed, organic coconut oil, and whole omega-3 eggs (with at least one yolk!).

Tip #7
Eat Fat, Lose Fat
by Dr. John Berardi
To lose fat, sometimes you have to eat fat. Monounsaturated fats and certain polyunsaturates actually speed up the metabolic rate. Lipid researchers believe that the best of the fat burning bunch are the highly unsaturated omega 3s called EPA and DHA. A diet supplemented with omega 3-rich fish oil promotes losses of body fat with simultaneous gains in lean mass.
